Yet another damned blog!

The start's not quite right, the end's a bit tacky, but the 2/3 lines right in the middle are almost OK.

Nice Post!
Cool, Liver!
But, why am I the only drunk here tonight?

I'm fucking glad you didn't interview me.

Not yet.

Excellent! I especially enjoyed the Cros examination part and the Capote metaphor. The lawn picture is very well picked -- I wasn't expecting it to look so paltry. The tacky, tree-hugging style ending is appropriate and exalting. Bravo.

Wish I'd had
2-3 lines when
I did the interview.

That's how the yard looked a couple months
after I bought the Mini Mansion. In 03. And after
I cut down the jungle, picked up the 9 40 oz
bottles, the 2 full diapers, the women's purse
and had two truckloads and 85 35 gallon bags
of trash hauled out. Plus, before all the
planting, weeding, hedge trimming,
and of course-lawn mowing.

Here's how it looked this May:

Thanks, now I'm homesick again:

And I miss a buncha fucks here LFin'.

Alan Gathers No,
You xould change
that fake 1st part
w/a real chat w/Dinky.

It looks paradisiacal. Hanging around on lawn care forums must be worth while. Ow, and the interview is entertaining and instructive. Thanks.

Really, haven't
found that part
of the Net yet.

You made me spit coffee!

My world-picture collapses. Please don't tell me you made up that online pissing contest as well.

Um, no.

Moss made up the
start of the article
w/Cros, and that's
why it don't work.

Even he cops to it.

Anything nasty, venal,
mean, petty or cruel
relating to the Lounge
is completely true.

Liver's right.

So I cut the Crosby bit. Shame since it was about the only bit Helfrich liked and I want to keep him happy. Crosby's going to be pissed when he finds I've cut his lines.

To compensate, I've added links to words like hardon, God, Allentown for those who don't understand.

And to the lawn care forum.

Those added links are very helpful. I'm moved by the fact that you want to keep me happy. Thank you so much, Moss!

The end is still kind of disturbing, though.

Aren't all our
ends kind of
disturbing when
looked at closely?

Or smelled.

Aww!
Moss Deaf
likey HellBitch!

I'm passionate for this place.

Then yer
fucked up.

Welcome!

Mystique? Really, Liver.


Interesting blog, Alan.

Clearly you have a finger on the place's pulse.
Truly, there is no way to just walk in and
partake of the very real camaraderie
that has been accumulating itself
over years' kindnesses (small and large).
We've seen each other's scars, some of us.
Made exchanges in the ultimate local currency of "Looking a Fucker in the Eye."
Seen each other through some heavy shit, sometimes. Real shit.
Been sounding boards, proponents,
or just an oasis of consistency in an unpredictable and challenging world.

A person might sense it, sure
— walking into the local bar —
that some of the locals have more common mileage than the pitcher of Pabst between them
or that two guys and a pitcher can sometimes be a reassuring signal
that the world will still be turning tomorrow.
It's personal, though.
It's interpersonal.
It's not for the gawking masses.

Under the surface — you're right — there's a deep well of benevolence, gratitude, and respect.
Welcome.

That's the best thing I've read about "absinthe" in a long time, or maybe ever. The blog I mean.

Nice.

(The blog and what Peeps said.)

I'm assuming
by "blog",
you+Artie mean-
fascinating interview.

Looks like Liver is now the Official Lounge Spokesmodel™.

Well, I guess since the "blog" is an
interview...I mean.....

Nice.

(the interview and what Peeps said.)

It was a tough
competition, but
I deserve it.

Correcto, amigo.

I meant the interview. I had to look up "blog" recently to find out what it meant. Charlie don't surf. I click on maybe one out of ten links that show up in these forums.

It gives an accurate (afaik) picture of the history of this forum.

It gives an accurate picture of how commercial (and otherwise) absinthe has developed. Or not.

It's entertaining.

The questions were well structured and the responses were clever and creative.

I like pictures of real women.

I'm nonplussed.

Purty xure you'd
like the 3D Peeps
too.

She's very real.

I occasionally
have the bruises
to prove it.

HA!

Peeps, thanks for the welcome.

I think both Liver and I enjoyed the process: I struck lucky with the questions. Liver is a natural (as you all know) and didn't need any prompting.

In all this, it was clear to me that there's a great book (maybe even film) about the Lounge, its place in absinthe, and what it means to you all (I can hardly say "us" yet). Who's going to write it, Liver?

Who else?

This place is the book.
